The Peerless Emperor

After Zhuge Ming had finished speaking, it was Lin Qian's turn to be bewildered, not understanding what he meant.

Upgrade the Huaxia Empire?

What a joke he thought, in his previous life, the Huaxia Empire connected to the Sky Trace in his body was already a top-tier existence, completely developed with full technology, dominant in its service.

In cross-service battles, he had fought multiple opponents single-handedly, making them cry for their fathers and kneel and call him 'Dark Dad'.

Of course, in his previous life, Lin Qian was not called Dark, but his game nickname was 'Midsummer Shadow,' renowned in the fantasy empire game, known to everyone!

"What's going on, hurry up and explain!" Zhuge Ming's words caused Lin Qian's eyes to emit a wolf-like glow, urging him to quickly elaborate.

Being a hardcore gamer, Lin Qian was now thrilled to discover that the Huaxia Empire could still be upgraded. How could he not be ecstatic?

Under the urge from Lin Qian, Zhuge Ming quickly explained the reason.

It turned out that Zhuge Ming had discovered that after the people in the external world's territory began to feel a sense of identity with the Huaxia Empire and had good thoughts toward Emperor Lin Qian and the Huaxia Empire, such public sentiment could influence the Empire!

The Heavenly Art Department led by Zhuge Ming was the brain of the Huaxia Empire and needed to observe the entire condition of the empire; therefore, they keenly noticed that after Lin Qian's series of good treatments towards the people, the Huaxia Empire had shown noticeable improvements in various aspects.

For example, the national fortune of the Huaxia Empire had become somewhat stronger than before, and the growth rate of the empire's resources had also increased.

Although this enhancement was very slight, almost negligible, it was still an improvement.

"Does that mean when the territory of the Huaxia Empire is large enough and gathers more public support, the Huaxia Empire will also become stronger?" Thinking of this possibility made Lin Qian's breath quicken; he just wished his Huaxia Empire could become even stronger.

Now that his hope was within reach, how could he not be overjoyed?

Following this, Zhuge Ming continued to report to Lin Qian, "Moreover, the public sentiment will also impact the external world's territory of the Huaxia Empire. The Huaxia World Array set up there is clearly enhanced, and the concentration of spiritual energy has also risen."

"Therefore, the Heavenly Art Department can conclude that the Huaxia Empire of Xuanhuan Star and the Huaxia Empire of Soul Martial Continent are integrated, complement each other, and are both influenced by the public sentiment consolidation."

After sorting through Zhuge Ming's report, Lin Qian's eyes also showed a hint of surprise; he really hadn't expected that simply wanting his empire's citizens to have better lives and winning their hearts would have such an effect.

Although the enhancement was minute to the point of being imperceptible, without the Heavenly Art Department, they wouldn't even know about such a matter.

But if the controlled territory of the Huaxia Empire was strong enough and garnered more public support, would this enhancement become more and more noticeable, and the effects better and better?

Thinking of this, a fanatical expression appeared in Lin Qian's eyes, "Emperor Qin's Dynasty, oh Emperor Qin's Dynasty, I really have to thank you for provoking the Huaxia Empire. Your territory, I'm set on it!"

Lin Qian chuckled heartily to himself, his companions looking bewildered by his side, not understanding why he was suddenly lost in thought and then began to laugh foolishly.

Seeing his companions puzzled, Lin Qian did not explain anything but said to them, "Just wait for the attack from Emperor Qin's Dynasty and then watch the good show."

After saying this, Lin Qian left the Council Hall with an excited face.

The Soul Power of the three elders sealed the Council Hall from outside entry, and once Lin Qian left, there was no need to maintain the Soul Power barrier.

The three of them exchanged glances, then smiled and followed out of the Council Hall, eagerly anticipating what sort of surprise Lin Qian would bring them when the time came.

On the Qin Dynasty side, armies continued to gather in large numbers. However, in the distant region in front of the three border cities, quite a few people had already arrived.

The Qin Army of the Qin Dynasty was divided into three parts: the Central Qin Regular Army composed of Nirvana Realm Martial Artists, the Eight Directions Regular Army composed of Life and Death Realm, and the Qin Imperial Guards directly ruled by the Human Emperor.

At this moment, only the Central Qin Regular Army and the Eight Directions Regular Army of the Qin Dynasty were gathered; with the Emperor absent, the Imperial Guards naturally could not arrive.

At this moment, the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty, Qin Lingtian, was extremely angry because they discovered that no matter what methods they used, they could not counter the strange force invading the Imperial Capital Array.

Eventually, he could only humiliatingly shut down the Imperial Capital Array, ordering all the Array Masters in the Imperial City to intensely work on modifying it in hopes of restoring the Array as soon as possible.

As for the Arrays of all the cities in the thirty-two states of the Qin Dynasty, there was no longer any solution. According to the reports from the Array Masters stationed in each city, the Arrays had been completely altered and could not even be shut down.

As for destruction…

The only way to destroy these Arrays was to demolish the Array Nexus Space within the city.

However, the Array Masters found themselves in a difficult predicament realizing that if they chose this method, the Array Nexus would immediately explode with enough power to destroy half of the city.

If they were to do this, what would be the point? The enemies had not even attacked yet, and they would have already blown up their own home?

Isn't this madness?

"Attack, level Yushui City, Yunshui City, and Bishui City to the ground, advance directly into Liujiang State, and penetrate into the heartland of Double Pole Palace!"

Following the command of Qin Lingtian, the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty, the previously stationary Central Qin Regular Army and the Eight Directions Regular Army finally sprung into action and began marching forward.

The enormous army of the Qin Dynasty approached, darkening the skies, with their target directly set on the faintly glowing Bright Light Formation covering Yushui City, Yunshui City, and Bishui City.

Just as Qin Lingtian had said, these three cities must be razed to the ground.

In the eyes of the Emperor, these conquered cities were nothing but a disgrace and should no longer exist within the Territory of the Qin Dynasty. Only by obliterating these cities could the dignity of the Qin Dynasty be restored.

This time, the Qin Dynasty dispatched as many as three hundred million troops from the Nirvana Realm Central Qin Regular Army and thirty million from the Life and Death Realm Eight Directions Regular Army, forming three groups that each marched toward one of the cities.

Such an immense force would have terrified any ordinary power.

However, in the sky in front of the three cities, an enormous battleship hovered. On the deck at the bow were tables set in squares.

The battleship was exceptionally stable, without the slightest sway. Fang Shuiwen, Zhou Yi An, and Yang Guixiang, along with Lin Qian, were seated at one of the tables. Other elders from the three powers had also taken their places and were staring somewhat dazedly at the steaming, delicious dishes on the table.

Originally when Lin Qian called them to board the battleship, upon receiving the news of the attack by the army of the Qin Dynasty, they thought it was time for battle, a chance for them to showcase their prowess.

But who would have thought that Lin Qian would actually host a grand feast on the battleship, asking them to eat and drink well, preparing to enjoy a good show.

"Young Master, aren't you being a bit too reckless?" Zhou Yi An said with a wry smile as he looked around.
